can anyone try this halo torrent link:

LINK REMOVED

and tell me whether it works? I keep getting a tracker not found error.

edit: is the status light on the client accurate?? I've been on yellow for quite a while and i'm pretty sure i'm not on a firewall. but my speeds are incredibly slow.



Edited by RF:

No bittorent links please.....

Does't sound good (Kickin'/Banning part) might be a lot of trouble with bittorrent now.

People running Peer Guardian are already doing just that, although they normally don't change their blocklist while running BitTorrent.

I've been tempted (but haven't yet) to add bitTorrent peer/leech ips to Peer Guardian that I see are getting >100 KB/sec download speeds, haven't sent anything to me, but want me to upload to them at >50% of my upload bandwidth despite others downloading from me as well.

If only a few people do this to only a few ips of a many-peer torrent, then it will actually SPEED UP the torrent for all but the few blocked peer/leeches.

There ARE BitTorrent hacks which make it possible to leech totally or only upload at 1 KB/sec max to 1 person at a time, so this is just yet another arms race between the leeches and everyone else.

[Gre1]

Just because they get 100% doesn't mean they are leeching though they might have a T1-T3 connection. But not that many leech and sometimes it's good when they get good speeds then if they do share they can be a seeder and help get the file out quicker.

is it just me or does this new version suck?
